Way to go man. You need the starter bushing. It is *likely* present. You should be able to see it with the right light. I replaced mine with tranny out, but I'm pretty sure the part can be replaced with tranny in. Just make sure you get it out in one piece. Archives likely has info on type of puller etc. Chances are though, that the bushing is just fine. If it's present, I wouldn't worry about it.
